	Daily Notification Plugin
Author: Matthew Raymer
Version: 2.2.0
Created: 2025-09-22 09:22:32 UTC
Last Updated: 2025-10-08 06:02:45 UTC
Overview
The Daily Notification Plugin is a comprehensive Capacitor plugin that provides enterprise-grade daily notification functionality across Android, iOS, and Electron platforms. It features dual scheduling, callback support, TTL-at-fire logic, and comprehensive observability.
🎯 Native-First Architecture
The plugin has been optimized for native-first deployment with the following key improvements:
Platform Support:
- ✅ Android: WorkManager + AlarmManager + SQLite
 - ✅ iOS: BGTaskScheduler + UNUserNotificationCenter + Core Data
 - ✅ Electron: Desktop notifications + SQLite/LocalStorage
 - ❌ Web (PWA): Removed for native-first focus
 
Key Benefits:
- Simplified Architecture: Focused on mobile and desktop platforms
 - Better Performance: Optimized for native platform capabilities
 - Reduced Complexity: Fewer platform-specific code paths
 - Cleaner Codebase: Removed unused web-specific code (~90 lines)
 
Implementation Status
✅ Phase 2 Complete - Production Ready
| Component | Status | Implementation | 
|---|---|---|
| Android Core | ✅ Complete | WorkManager + AlarmManager + SQLite | 
| iOS Parity | ✅ Complete | BGTaskScheduler + UNUserNotificationCenter | 
| Web Service Worker | ❌ Removed | Web support dropped for native-first architecture | 
| Callback Registry | ✅ Complete | Circuit breaker + retry logic | 
| Observability | ✅ Complete | Structured logging + health monitoring | 
| Documentation | ✅ Complete | Migration guides + enterprise examples | 
All platforms are fully implemented with complete feature parity and enterprise-grade functionality.
🧪 Testing & Quality
- Test Coverage: 58 tests across 4 test suites ✅
 - Build Status: TypeScript compilation and Rollup bundling ✅
 - Code Quality: ESLint and Prettier compliance ✅
 - Cross-Platform: Unified API surface across all platforms ✅

Installation
npm install @timesafari/daily-notification-plugin
Quick Start
Basic Usage
import { DailyNotification } from '@timesafari/daily-notification-plugin';
// Schedule a daily notification
await DailyNotification.scheduleDailyNotification({
  title: 'Daily Update',
  body: 'Your daily content is ready',
  schedule: '0 9 * * *' // 9 AM daily
});
Enhanced Usage (Recommended)
import { 
  DailyNotification, 
  DualScheduleConfiguration 
} from '@timesafari/daily-notification-plugin';
// Configure dual scheduling
const config: DualScheduleConfiguration = {
  contentFetch: {
    schedule: '0 8 * * *', // Fetch at 8 AM
    ttlSeconds: 3600,       // 1 hour TTL
    source: 'api',
    url: 'https://api.example.com/daily-content'
  },
  userNotification: {
    schedule: '0 9 * * *',  // Notify at 9 AM
    title: 'Daily Update',
    body: 'Your daily content is ready',
    actions: [
      { id: 'view', title: 'View' },
      { id: 'dismiss', title: 'Dismiss' }
    ]
  }
};
await DailyNotification.scheduleDualNotification(config);
Callback Integration
// Register analytics callback
await DailyNotification.registerCallback('analytics', {
  kind: 'http',
  target: 'https://analytics.example.com/events',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-token',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});
// Register local callback
await DailyNotification.registerCallback('database', {
  kind: 'local',
  target: 'saveToDatabase'
});
function saveToDatabase(event: CallbackEvent) {
  console.log('Saving to database:', event);
  // Your database save logic here
}
Static Daily Reminders
For simple daily reminders that don't require network content:
import { DailyNotification } from '@timesafari/daily-notification-plugin';
// Schedule a simple daily reminder
await DailyNotification.scheduleDailyReminder({
  id: 'morning_checkin',
  title: 'Good Morning!',
  body: 'Time to check your TimeSafari community updates',
  time: '09:00',           // HH:mm format
  sound: true,
  vibration: true,
  priority: 'normal',
  repeatDaily: true
});
// Get all scheduled reminders
const result = await DailyNotification.getScheduledReminders();
console.log('Scheduled reminders:', result.reminders);
// Update an existing reminder
await DailyNotification.updateDailyReminder('morning_checkin', {
  title: 'Updated Morning Reminder',
  time: '08:30'
});
// Cancel a reminder
await DailyNotification.cancelDailyReminder('morning_checkin');
Key Benefits of Static Reminders:
- ✅ No network dependency - works completely offline
 - ✅ No content cache required - direct notification display
 - ✅ Simple API - easy to use for basic reminder functionality
 - ✅ Persistent - survives app restarts and device reboots

 - Database Errors: Verify Room database schema migration
 
iOS
- Background Tasks Not Running: Check Background App Refresh settings
 - Core Data Errors: Verify Core Data model compatibility
 - Notification Permissions: Request notification permissions
 
Web
- Service Worker Not Registering: Ensure HTTPS and proper file paths
 - Push Notifications Not Working: Verify VAPID keys and server setup
 - Web Support: Web platform support was removed for native-first architecture
 
Debug Commands
// Get comprehensive status
const status = await DailyNotification.getDualScheduleStatus();
console.log('Status:', status);
// Check registered callbacks
const callbacks = await DailyNotification.getRegisteredCallbacks();
console.log('Callbacks:', callbacks);
Performance Considerations
Memory Usage
- Android: Room database with connection pooling
 - iOS: Core Data with lightweight contexts
 - Web: ❌ Removed (native-first architecture)
 
Battery Optimization
- Android: WorkManager with battery-aware constraints
 - iOS: BGTaskScheduler with system-managed execution
 - Web: Service Worker with efficient background sync
 
Network Usage
- Circuit Breaker: Prevents excessive retry attempts
 - TTL-at-Fire: Reduces unnecessary network calls
 - Exponential Backoff: Intelligent retry scheduling
 
Security Considerations
Permissions
- Minimal Permissions: Only request necessary permissions
 - Runtime Checks: Verify permissions before operations
 - Graceful Degradation: Handle permission denials gracefully
 
Data Protection
- Local Storage: Encrypted local storage on all platforms
 - Network Security: HTTPS-only for all network operations
 - Callback Security: Validate callback URLs and headers
 
Privacy
- No Personal Data: Plugin doesn't collect personal information
 - Local Processing: All processing happens locally
 - User Control: Users can disable notifications and callbacks
